*Saturday Morning*

Vanessa's POV
"Room service!" I heard a high pitched voice after a few knocks on the door. I groaned as I sat up. After a second, it came again.

"Hello? Room service?!" I rubbed my face.

"No." Ethan mumbled as he turned over.

"House keeping! Room service!"

"NO GOD DAMMIT!" Ethan yelled and smacked his fists down on the bed. I chuckled a bit and reached for my phone.

"What the hell? I have 13 missed calls from Will." I mumbled to myself. Ethan sat up and looked over my shoulder. I called Will and jumped at his voice.

"VANESSA? WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Will shouted angrily.

"I'm with Ethan, what-"

"I tried calling you! I'm gonna kill this fucking mother fucker if you-"

"Will? Slow down! What's going on?"

"Get home now! I can't control myself! IM ABOUTTA LOSE MY FUCKING SHIT!"

"Will?! Tell me what's wrong!" I shouted over him.

"It's Dad. He's home."

Ethan's POV
Vanessa called Will back and I couldn't hear what he was saying but I could hear that he was mad.

"Will?! Tell me what's wrong!" Vanessa shouted. Her face changed instantly. She looked like she was going to faint.

"What?" She choked on her words. "I'm coming." She said and hung up the phone. She got up frantically and started throwing her stuff in her bag.

"Vanessa? What's wrong?" I got up.

"We need to leave. I have to get back home right now." She said and ran to the bathroom.

"What's going on?" I followed her back out of the bathroom where she dropped her stuff in her bag and zipped it.

"My Dad. He came into our house early this morning and Will found him sleeping on our couch. He's freaking out." Vanessa said and started to pack up my stuff. I didn't ask any questions and we left the hotel after checking out.

I sped to Vanessa's house and tried to talk to her.

"I'll come with you. We can do this." She shook her head at me and rubbed her thigh..

"You can't come with me Ethan."

"Why not? I can help."

"This is my family drama. I can't get you involved." She leaned forward and put her forehead on the truck. I sighed and dropped her off.

"Vanessa. Be careful. Call me ASAP." I told her and she nodded and went into her house.

Vanessa's POV
I walked in the front door to find my Dad sat on the couch flipping through the tv. He looked the same as ever, just with a little more grey.

"Dad?" I immediately felt like crying. Sure I cry a lot, but I haven't seen my dad in three years. I don't know if I hate him or love him.

He smiled at me just as Will came down the stairs.

"I TOLD YOU TO FUCKING LEAVE! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CHANNEL SURFING LIKE YOU OWN THE GOD DAMN PLACE!" Will shouted at my Dad and I cling to the closed front door.

"He's been shouting at me all morning." My Dad shrugged at me.

"Why are you here?" I muttered angrily as Dad stood up.
